Ji Chang Wook recently revealed he spent 260,000 KRW on Pokémon Toot-toot stickers through a direct transaction, leaving everyone amused by his quirky shopping habits!

On the November 12th episode of SBS's Whenever Possible, Ji Chang Wook joined Yoo Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok as they visited a pottery workshop and a musical theater.

During the episode, Ji Chang Wook opened up about his love for direct transactions, a popular way of buying and selling items between individuals without using traditional retail channels.

The actor shared with the others that he had recently bought a Pokémon Toot-toot sticker collection for 260,000 KRW on the app Danggeun Market, sparking some laughs. "Last time, I also bought a special game skin coupon through direct transaction for 120,000 KRW," he explained.

The others were surprised by his unique way of shopping, especially when Yoo Yeon Seok asked if he really paid 120,000 KRW for a gift that was only supposed to be given to people who spent over 50,000 KRW at a pop-up store. Ji Chang Wook just smiled and nodded, as if it was totally normal.

The actor also gave a tip for those using direct transaction apps: "You have to do direct transactions to avoid getting scammed." When asked by others why he buys things this way, Ji Chang Wook responded, "I just tell them I like games," which had everyone laughing.

Later, when Yoo Yeon Seok talked about seeing a 120-year-old olive tree priced at 50 million KRW, Ji Chang Wook immediately asked, "How do you know it’s 120 years old?" showing his keen eye for details and verification—skills he has clearly picked up through his love for secondhand transactions. Yoo Jae Seok joked, saying, "Chang Wook is so experienced with secondhand deals, he checks everything!"

As the episode continued, Ji Chang Wook was put to the test in a fun game where he had to exchange gifts. He couldn’t help but comment, "This really taps into people's gambling instincts. It touches their desires and leaves them frustrated."

He quickly added, "But thinking about it, this is a lesson," making the production team burst into laughter.

The full episode will air on November 12 at 10:20 PM KST, so fans can tune in to catch more of Ji Chang Wook’s hilarious moments!

Musical actor Kai is winning hearts with his peaceful and low-tech lifestyle!

On the May 16 episode of MBC’s Home Alone, Kai gave fans a special look into his personal life, showing off his unique daily routine inside his artsy home.

Known for his powerful voice and stage presence, Kai showed a completely different side of himself — as a calm and thoughtful man who loves books and avoids screens.

Wearing colorful floral pajamas, Kai started his day by greeting his adorable cat named “Tenor.” But what really caught viewers’ attention was what he did next — instead of reaching for his phone, Kai sat down and read a paper newspaper!

He shared that he carefully reads every section, including politics, economy, and even the ads. He even cuts out interesting articles to keep for later.

Kai also spends his free time reading books. “Smartphones show me things I didn’t choose to see,” he said. “They just make people unhappy.” He added that he avoids using his phone whenever possible, and plans to share more tips on how to stay offline.

When talking about his home, Kai said, “It’s not a perfectly designed place. It’s just filled with things I love. That’s what makes it feel warm.” Fans were impressed by the calm and artistic vibes of his space.

Kai also showed parts of his life as a musical actor, including doing “vocal cord stretching” while sitting at his piano, and following a super-detailed schedule to manage his health. His planned and organized routine, which he joked is a “power J” lifestyle, gave viewers a peek into how seriously he takes his work and well-being.

Fans can watch Kai’s relaxing and inspiring daily life on Home Alone, which aired on May 16 at 11:10 p.m. KST.
